Book synopsis
In All in Her Head, oncologist Elizabeth Comen explores the complex relationship between women and the medical establishment, uncovering a legacy of shame and systemic bias. By examining the eleven discrete organ systems of the human body, Comen reveals how centuries of male-dominated medical history have shaped—and often failed—women's health. Through heartbreaking patient stories and rigorous research, she empowers readers to move beyond medical apologies and advocate for a healthcare system that values female joy and holistic well-being. This book is a vital call to action for women to reclaim their bodies and demand the informed, empathetic care they deserve.
